Former WWE star Madcap Moss (Mike Rallis) spoke with Fightful’s Jeremy Lambert and Joel Pearl on In The Weeds on a number of topics related to pro wrestling, including WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman.
Moss said, “He was a huge fan of mine and a huge advocate for me.” “He and Brock (Lesnar) were. They were great to me. They brought me under their wing, they let me sit in on discussions where they were talking about the business and how you should approach things. I learned so much from those guys. They were advocates. The first time I got brought up to the main roster was basically 100% because of Paul and Elias. He was the one who alerted Paul that my contract was running out and I was going to leave the company if they didn’t do anything about it. I was in NXT doing nothing and Paul basically gave me a shot there and let me run with it.”
“He didn’t give me too much individual instruction, and I think I thrived with that and he knew that’s what I needed after maybe NXT being a little too micromanaged. He’s responsible for giving me that chance and everything that followed was because of that. I owe Paul a lot for everything that happened in my run there.”
